Under these conditions, do not develop the thyroid gland in general, may have actually formed, developed in part or in the wrong place. The errors in the growth of the thyroid gland leads to damage to the functioning of the thyroid promoting hormones. Someof other congenital hypothyroidism cases are being developed as a result of autosomal recessive characteristics. If this case develops in infants may impair thyroid metabolism in the thyroid. Lack of iodine was once the most important factor for this type of disease. Credited with the full introduction of iodine in the diet, the number of deaths on the lack of iodine, has been significantly reduced.
